HP StoreEver Ultrium Tape Drives - Manual (Page 40)

•
Do not leave cartridges in direct sunlight or in places where magnetic fields are present (for
example, under telephones, next to monitors or near transformers).
•
Do not drop cartridges or handle them roughly.
•
Stick labels onto the label area only.

•
Day-to-day storage (in plastic container): 16° C to 32° C (60° F to 90° F)
•
Non-condensing relative humidity: 20% to 80% (operating), 20% to 80% (non-operating)
•
Wet bulb temperature should not exceed 26° C (79° F)
Tapes intended for long-term storage should be stored in the plastic containers, at temperatures
between 5° C and 23° C (41° F and 73° F) and 20% to 50% relative humidity.
